You think Obama was responsible for the cuts? You're being sarcastic right?
Let me see... the Credit agencies said there would have to be a great amount of cuts...
1) Obama wanted ZERO cuts and increase the debt ceiling...
2) Then he wanted MODEST cuts and increase the debt ceiling...
3) Then realizing that he NEEDED big huge cuts of 4 Trillion or more and HAD the support to do it... he fought tooth and nail for tax increases in exchange.... even though HE was the one in the weaker position...
4) He was an idiot and now got 2 Trillion in tax cuts for his actions and creating the distrust between the political parties....
Why would I not blame Obama? He knew how much he had to cut, he pushed for his rhetoric of tax increases, pissed everybody off, and then only got 2 Trillion in tax cuts which aren't really cuts at all... so who do I blame? When Obama was first an idiot, a smarter idiot, an obstructionist, and then finally a loser...
S&P downgrades U.S. credit rating for first time ever (http://http://www.washingtonpost.com/business/economy/sandp-considering-first-downgrade-of-us-credit-rating/2011/08/05/gIQAqKeIxI_print.html - broken link)
If there is anything that could ever unite us, it would have to be this ...
The people in Washington never listen to us, so why on God's green earth should we keep listening to them?
We can only boot them all with a Constitutional Convention .. Write the Amendments in such a way that will never allow something like this to happen again ..
DAMN THEM
Maybe short term, but long term - no way. 9/11 brought us together for a few months. Look how long that lasted.
Unfortunately, I think we'll always be a "I want mine but you can't have yours" society. I hope I'm wrong.
Sad days for our nation?? I'm sorry to say but it could just be worse than that.................it just could be sad for me. I find the whole idea intolerable.
Yes, a sad day for this nation. I have sad many times this is scary and concerning time for the people of this country.
I was hoping I would no longer be on this earth when this country went to sh*t.
Yet here I am.
Personally, I'm damn glad to be here, old or not.
